This seems to be the only way Apple Corp (2 Beatles & 2 Widows) can make money.
Only a fool could confuse the two companies: Apple Computer and Apple Corp.
Whoever remembers Apple Corp. has to be pushing 62.
Anyway, only former hippies, OLD baby boomers and their nerdy children, who were force feed this music growing up. have interested in the Beatles' and their antediluvian music? There is nothing new. It's still the same songs. How many times can one listen to Yesterday and Hey Jude.
Making it seem like the Beatle's music is the Holy Grail of music--Which it is not!--Apple Corp has already missed out on MILLIONS by not legally releasing their songs through Itunes.
Through the old Napster, Kazaa and the others like Bit Torrent, the "old heads" have uploaded, downloaded and traded practically the entire Beatle's catalog. I've listen to few and I must say: they are high quality mp3s. So, the MP3s are already out there they just don't have the legal stamp of approval.(lol)
Like I said before, it's just a way for the Aging Apple Corp. to make money and get back in the spotlight. Apple Corp. sees a gold mine, again, in Apple Computer because of their success with the Ipod—that’s it.
I truly and sincerely hope Apple Corp. LOSE this one.
Do we really need an English court to state the obvious? Itune's aac files are NOT vinyl records, cassette tapes or any kind of physical media! Abuse of the English legal system for profit is what this is.
